The photos are so soothing Bonnie.

I was reminded of a quote from Nick Cave when I read this

"To remember and return to myself, after losing and letting go of many things in the past two years."

He said in an interview with Amanda Petrusich for The New Yorker,

"Grief is extraordinary in its capacity to completely alter us on an almost atomic level. Suddenly, we inhabit a different body. Our relationship with everything seems to change. It’s as if we’re simply a different person. I meant that quite literally. I changed from one person to another person."

- Nick Cave

Perhaps after your trip your atoms feel different?

Wow, Emma. Thank you so much for reading and also sharing Nick Cave's quote - I resonate with it deeply. This trip is like the final step to finish the cycle of atomic/cellular-level change that started last August when my father died. Now I feel like a completely different person and all of my relationships have shifted and changed.
